Most people? Good lord KZitem comment section is unsettling. First of… the VAST majority of movie goers, doesn’t go online and complain/praise. You think most people didn’t like it because paid reviews or shady sites like rotten tomatoes or IMDb told you what to think. I assume you also think Oscars matter? Like it’s not rich people who are throwing glitter and champagne, building the illusion that they know what’s best? Movies are subjective, and you NEVER hear the majority’s opinion, no matter what internet tells you, or how arrogant one is.

The scene in the kitchen with Joseph trying to show his dad wouldn’t get hurt is one of the most intense scenes ever. It’s also cleverly written because as a viewer you’re starting to buy into the idea that David really is like a superman, because it’s just a movie, and so a part of you wonders if maybe this is how they’ll discover it’s true, but then you’re dealing with the dread of what it would mean to Joseph if he was the cause of his father’s death. You’re caught between wanting to find out if it’s true but also not wanting to be shown that it’s false.

I taught at a high school with a student who had the same brittle bone condition. He was a brave little dude who insisted on not being homeschooled. They set up a cool system where two of the bigger football players would come in 5 minutes before the bell rang and escort him in his wheel chair to a safe place in his next class. Nothing to do with the movie, but reminds me of a heartwarming experience I had teaching high school.

19:14 This is inspired by something that happened in real life. In the 1950s actor George Reeves played Superman for 6 seasons on the popular TV show The Adventures of Superman. As part of his job, he used to do in-person appearances in character as Superman for audiences of almost entirely children. There was one appearance where a kid secretly brought his father's gun to the show. He pointed it at Reeves and was going to shoot him, thinking the bullets would just bounce off like they did on TV. George Reeves had to talk the kid down, saying that if he shot him, the bullets could bounce off and hit one of the other kids. Ben Affleck also depicted this incident on screen, playing George Reeves, in the movie Hollywoodland.

The exception to that has been Manga and other Japanese comics, which have been hugely popular with rising sales that have only gotten better as US published comic book series are selling less and less. Oh...and "a pint is a pound the world around"...at least that is how I learned how to remember how much a pint of water weighs. And since there are 16 pints in each gallon, each of those paint cans weighed at least 16 pounds...assuming they were full...and then add the weight of the can, and add however much heavier that paint is compared to water.

I believe a handful of Shyamalan's films are masterpieces, including Sixth Sense, The Village, Signs, and this. They are frequently assessed or experienced literally, about superheroes, aliens, ghosts, etc., but the deeper meanings are about the limitations of humans. I know you watched Signs--which is really about the tendency of people to fill in the blanks of what they can't know, because we need to make meaning. If you watch that movie again, you'll notice that the aliens never attack humans. You only see humans attacking the aliens. Even the gas that goes into the kid's nose at the end, which is interpreted as "thank god his asthma blocked the poison," but which could have actually saved the kid's life. I would highly recommend watching The Village if you like his films and are curious to dig into them/

I think originally the film ended with Jackson revealing the truth and that's it, but either the studio or test screenings wanted some resolution of the plot so the film didn't end with the villain winning and "getting away".

George got it right. "5-O" became a nickname for police after the show cop show Hawaii Five-O. Five-O because Hawaii is the 50th state.

The movie is an inversion of a comic book superhero origin story. In the usual origin story, a normal person suddenly gains powers by being bitten by a spider or exposed to radiation, and the story ends with a final boss fight with the villain. Here, the hero always had his powers but never knew it, and the movie ends quietly with a handshake.

Your mention of arm wrestling brought to mind a specific Monday Night Football game which incurred what could be known as the Joe Theismann effect. After replay went wild showing his lower leg breaking and bending in the middle during a play, replaying injury for it's own sake was implemented to never happen again. I grew up watching Hawaii 5-0. Check out the theme music.

there's a new meme sort of called "literally me, Ryan Gosling" and how Gosling always seems to have roles that resontes with the average man of today and i just realized Bruce Willis is kinda the same way. I didnt see it before since i was a child during his prime acting years.

When this movie came out, i didn't think too much of it but I have come to appreciate it. I love the concept that real superheroes and villains exist. The bench press scene is my favorite. To me, that's the moment he realizes that maybe Elijah is right. There's a deleted scene where he goes to the gym at the stadium to see how much more he can bench. I think it really expands the basement scene because he is there when the whole football team is there working out. It's on YT and worth watching

That text had to have been added later. I saw this in the theatre when it came out, I remember the implication at the end was that Mr. Glass would become Unbreakable's nemesis. Of course, that was so long ago that I could be misremembering it, but I really don't think that that text was there.

There's a deleted scene after Bruce comes home from the hospital in the beginning where he's crying in the shower. It's really good, and I wish it was not deleted! Shyamalan said it was too early in the movie to show that much of his character's emotions.. I disagree

"There's no antagonist". This and Sixth Sense is why I'll always watch a Shyamalan movie because sometimes they're really great with the dime drop. He at least tries the left field swerve. Also, kudos to the production bleeping just Simone while George is talking. Good eye for detail.

If you rewatch this film it is incredibly obvious that Jackson is a villain. He has a color scheme for his outfits that is the opposite of the hero's (Jackson wears purple while Willis wears green), he has a glass cane and very comicbooky looking car. Plus, as he says at the end of the film, he is the best friend of the hero, and the best villains start out as the hero's friend.

Arm wrestler Clive Dean (RIP) broke many of his opponents arms. They actually made separate rules for him during his matches. Used to watch him back in the 70‘s on ABC‘s Wide World of Sports. Clive was a hog farmer from Pavo GA. He was 6‘7“ and weighed 300 to 450 lbs and was at one time 600lbs. Cheers

What I find amazing is how MNS, the director/screen writer (and awful actor) can convince the audience that a single "quite interesting idea" can be padded into a 2 hour film because it can't. Willis's character had such a terrible memory that I just can't see how he hadn't been hospitalized years earlier. How could he engaging in such a highly responsible job with the memory of willy-the wisp. It honestly reminds me of Buzz Lightyear from Toy Story; he thought he was real but always froze when kids appeared (which made no sense but was sort of fun) whereas here this character had a dysfunctionaly bad memory (so sabotaging his ability to work or have a real relationship) so we could have the special self-awareness moment at the end.

29:25 If the movie ends here...yeah like in the Chinese version of Fight Club - before the explosions, a message now says the police foiled the plot, arrested the criminals and sent Durden to a "lunatic asylum". The new finale tells viewers: "Through the clue provided by Tyler, the police rapidly figured out the whole plan and arrested all criminals, successfully preventing the bomb from exploding. "After the trial, Tyler was sent to lunatic asylum receiving psychological treatment. He was discharged from the hospital in 2012."

Split is great. I highly recommend it. I like shared universe movies where the shared universe is part of the backdrop but is not the focus of the story -- where the shared universe is almost nothing more than an easter egg, and it's not necessary to have seen the preceding movie(s) to have the full experience of the later movie(s). 10 Cloverfield Lane and Split are perfect examples. Mute is connected to Moon in that way, too. (If you haven't reacted to 10 Cloverfield Lane and Moon, I highly recommend those, too!) Also, since Unbreakable sets up a universe where people have superhero/supervillain powers, it's fun to consider the possibility that Sixth Sense is set in the same universe.

This is my favorite Shayamalan film by far. The Sixth Sense is close, but I feel this one is a bit stronger and stands better on its own because the twist ending doesn't underpin the entire plot the way that it does in Sixth Sense. The score by James Newton Howard is fantastic, if you listen to this one and his work on Batman Begins you can really hear the similarities. I didn't catch on to it until later but I really love the camera work, there's SO little cutting, lots of long shots where they let dialog scenes breathe, exactly like how George pointed out in the conversation between David and Audrey in the bedroom door.

Apparently "five oh" does originate from the show "Hawaii Five-O", a show about police, and the 5-0 refers to Hawaii being the 50th state in the USA. I always thought 5-0 referred to the number of law enforcement agencies that can operate in one area (i.e. city police, sheriff, highway patrol, forest service, and ...animal control?

Hawaii is the 50th state in the Union. That is where "5-0" originated from, referring to the police. George, you did catch on early that Elijah seemed like a villain.👏 Great reactions to another M. Night film with an interesting twist, Simone & George!!!!🎬👏👏👏👏

There was an event in US football known as The Miracle at The Meadowlands (the home stadium in NJ of the NY Giants. There were seconds on the clock. The Giants were ahead and had the ball. All they needed to do was have the center hand the ball to the quarterback and the QB takes a knee. Game over. Well, the QB fumbled the ball. A Philadelphia Eagles player picked up the ball and ran for a touchdown. The Eagles won. The QB and most of the coaches were fired. This was 1981. Bill Parcells is hired sbd brings in a new coaching staff (most would become head coaches later and win Super Bowls) and players. In 1987, The Giants won the Super Bowl with Parcells' new team. A year later, the ostracized former quarterback is introduced at a dinner, "The who is tge reason The Giants won a Super Bowl." Had he not fumbled and got the whole coaching staff fired, The Giants probably wouldn't have hired one of the greatest head coaches in history and not have won two Super Bowls. The only coach to have taken four different teams to the playoffs. Three sucked when he took over. Long story short. (Too late!) Your Avatar theory about M. Night being responsible for the TV show is possible. I don't think the end text was added afterwards because it Tues to the opening text. And often the villains are in a mental asylum. I haven't seen the sequels. I've heard mixed reviews.
